"Deviations from truth-telling" despite POTUS "good intentions"

And this is from an Obama fan:

Health Reform And Truth-Telling Despite President Obama's good intentions, his deviations from truth-telling compromise his credibility by Stuart Taylor Jr. Natonal Journal
...it would be unrealistic to expect complete candor from any president about the costs and risks of extending health insurance to 30 million more Americans. If Obama can meet the truthfulness test applied by Huckleberry Finn to his creator Mark Twain -- "There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth" -- that would be good enough for me...Despite Obama's good intentions, I can't help thinking that the deviations from truth-telling identified by various critics go to the heart of his plan, compromise his credibility, and could accelerate health-cost inflation with ruinous consequences for the economy. Examples:
* "The problem of rising costs."...his plan would quite clearly increase costs dramatically, which is why he is proposing so many new taxes, "fees," and other levies....they are surely costs...not sustainable in the long run unless they are offset by savings far more serious than Congress is likely to adopt on Medicare or anything else...Nor has the president made more than a token effort (by proposing to tax "Cadillac" insurance policies) to give consumers a stake in holding down costs. ...Because of a decades-old tax subsidy, employer-provided insurance covers not only the necessary, unexpectedly large costs that consumers cannot afford -- the traditional reason for buying insurance -- but also many not-so-necessary tests, procedures, and drugs. The bill proposed by Baucus...would diminish consumers' already weak incentives to hold down costs by requiring insurers to reduce co-payments and deductibles.
* Slashing Medicare's waste and fraud. ...This is a fantasy discredited by the countless broken promises of other politicians over the decades to do the same and by Obama's own failure to offer credible specifics...
* Preventive care saves money? Obama has suggested that requiring insurance companies "to cover, with no extra charge, routine checkups and preventive care" will cut costs. The opposite is probably true...
* "Absolutely not a tax increase." ..Obama's response when asked by ABC News about what Baucus calls the "excise tax" of as much as $3,800 a year...by 2016, the original Baucus bill would require an individual earning $32,400 a year to pay $4,100 in premiums before getting any subsidy, plus an average $1,500 in deductibles and co-payments...So much for Obama's campaign pledge that "no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase." ...it's deceptive to pretend that this is not a tax....****"When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."****
* Deficits won't increase? Obama vowed in his September 9 speech, "I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits -- either now or in the future." ...The bad news ...is that Obama added an escape hatch....when they don't, the "required" cuts probably won't materialize...nothing can force Congress to deliver any future savings that it "requires" now. Not to mention the fact that the tax revenues mentioned above would be available to reduce the government's alarmingly gargantuan non-health-care deficits if they weren't spent on Obama's health care plan.
* "Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have."...The excise tax and other costs imposed on employer-provided insurance would certainly spur many employers to reduce the coverage they pay for.
* Bashing insurance companies. Obama has been borderline deceptive...even in the worst two examples that Obama could find, he garbled the facts of one case and glossed over the other patient's possible concealment of relevant information in applying for coverage,...In the spirit of Huck Finn, we may excuse the last two of the seven Obama lines of argument cited above as mere stretches. But the first five seem both deceptive and dangerous to the nation's economic future.****Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how'd you like the play?***
